Was broken off by something big about a month ago on 12# test (ripped off the Top Dropper Loop from the main line at the knot) so here's what I did. 1.) Scaled up to 20# test line, 2.) Used a size 2 baitholder hook tied at bottom of the line with a Palomar Knot, 3.) Put a few tiny splitshot weights about 18 inches above the hook. That's about it. Also, I don't cast out very far, but mostly in a certain spot with less rocks to minimize hang ups. My drag was buttoned down pretty tight, but loose enough to let that fish take some line after it was hooked.
